However, with the increasingly complicated situation of the disease, which enormously affects the economy as well as income of students’ families, the school chooses to reduce tuition fees to share the burden with students".


On the side of Gia Dinh University, many students felt very happy and  when secure they received news that the school had reduced tuition. Specifically, the school has implemented a 20% reduction of tuition fees for the second semester (academic year 2019-2020) for all students when they pay tuition during this period.


Nguyen Hoang Nam – third-year student of GDU was excited: “My parents’ jobs were affected by the epidemic so the family economy was not as stable as before. Since the school made a 20% reduction in tuition, I was surprised and very grateful. This reduction helps to cover the cost of studying online at home, above all, it is more motivating and inspiring to study when the school cares for and supports students in front of many difficulties during the epidemic season.”


With the increasingly complicated epidemic’s situation, the absence time is lengthened, reducing tuition is a difficult but reasonable decision for schools.
